The explosion of smart phones and their advanced capabilities such as location awareness and connectivity will help propel location-targeted mobile advertising revenues to $6.6 billion in the U.S. this year, according to our U.S. Local Media Forecast 2015.
The emergence of mobile, however, has made advertising more complex, especially for national companies that must align brand messages with localized entities that include retail partners, franchisees, distributors, and affiliates.
The report, Think Global, Target Local: Multi-Location Advertising in the Mobile Age, explores location-targeted advertising as it relates to the size of the booming marketing opportunity of national brand spending, which we predict will represent 43 percent of location based advertising by 2019.
Nowhere do ‘national’ and ‘local’ come together more than with multi-location businesses. They are inherently national in their footprint and resources, but they are local in that they compete for customers in the local markets where they are present. This makes them a significant participant in the local advertising ecosystem.
